Batman

This Batman sculpture was also built by LEGO professionals. I'm not sure where it was on display recently, but I think it was first produced in promotion of the LEGO Batman video game.

Batmobiles

Flash made several variants on the Batmobile.

Wayne Tower

Brucewaynelego made this Wayne Tower and Batmobile.

Dynamic duo

I think this Batman scene was from promotional material for the video game.

Silver Surfer

This Silver Surfer wallhanging was made by Brucewaynelego, an appropriate name for someone making comic-themed MOCs.

Kickin A'

Not technically from a comic, but Iain Heath, aka Ochre Jelly, of The Living Brick made Kick Ass and Hit Girl.
-Oops- As pointed out in the comments, I guess the movie was based on an actual comic.
-One more edit- I've also corrected the builder, above.

Batmobile

Sebulba56 made this Batmobile.

Timing of the new licenses

There's been some question about the timing of the new releases. Polywen was at the San Diego ComicCon (and got one of the Green Lantern figs, lucky dude) and he got some indication from the people in the LEGO booth. He doesn't remember exactly who said it, but he said it comes down to existing licenses. DC has a current license with Fisher Price (as part of their TRIO Building System), and Marvel currently has a license for building block toys with Mega Bloks. The word is that the LEGO licenses will kick in when these existing licenses expire in January and May 2012, respectively.

Wall of Fame

Here's the Wall of Fame from Legoland Windsor. Among the many characters there you can see your friendly neighborhood web-slinger.

Coming soon ...

Backs of the figs

It looks like Mariann Asanuma helped take down the LEGO booth at ComicCon, and she got a chance to photograph the back sides of the figs. As you can see, they're all printed on both sides (well, we can't see Batman and Thor's backs due to capes, but someone noted on Flickr that the exclusive ComicCon Batman fig is printed on both sides). BTW, I have no idea what happened to the Superman fig, and whether or not his cape is printed with an S. Also BTW, I didn't note it before, but Wonder Woman's legs are red with flesh-colored printing on them, and the printing wraps around to the sides (has that ever been done before?).

Figs galore

David Oaks has a huge gallery of minifigs from DC and Marvel, including some characters like the Endless and DareDevil and pals. BTW, it's definitely worth reading through his site for some fun little jokes.

Pop quiz: When did LEGO announce their DC and Marvel licenses?



Here I am with a little niche blog, and suddenly we're sitting on the most exciting new theme (IMO, of course) since the first X-wing came out in 1999. Stay tuned here for all LEGO Super Heroes news, and be sure to tell your friends.

Flash drives

Stefan Reiling has made a number of LEGO-based USB flash drives, including these. I think he sells these and other items - you can contact him via his Flickr account if you're interested.

ComicCon (an older one in Phoenix, not the current one)

These mosaics were on display at the recent Phoenix ComicCon. Again, I think this photo is by a con attendee, so I don't know the builder.
